480611d170 Make usage documentation for git-add consistent.
The usage string for the executable was missing --refresh.  In
addition, the documentation referred to "file", but the usage string
referred to "filepattern".  Updated the documentation to
"filepattern", as git-add does handle patterns.

257a84d9d0 Document what the stage numbers in the :$n:path syntax mean.
The git-rev-parse manpage talks about the :$n:path notation (buried deep in
a list of other syntax) but it just says $n is a "stage number" -- someone
who is not familiar with the internals of git's merge implementation is
never going to be able to figure out that "1", "2", and "3" means.

d56651c0ef Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't work
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another.  Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other.  Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

95064cbcc8 Correct documentation of 'reflog show' to explain it shows HEAD
By default 'git reflog show' will show the reflog of 'HEAD' and not
the reflog of the current branch.  This is most likely due to the
work done a while ago as part of the detached HEAD series to allow
HEAD to have its own reflog independent of each branch's reflog.

Since 'git reflog show' is really just an obscure alias for 'git
log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline' it should behave the same
way and its documentation should match.

ac053c0202 Allow frontends to bidirectionally communicate with fast-import
The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to.  However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.

The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out.  The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.

1fdb649c6a Make trailing LF optional for all fast-import commands
For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands.  In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.

To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf.  This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code.  In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

2c570cde98 Make trailing LF following fast-import data commands optional
A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we
require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact
byte count format.  Technically we don't need this LF to parse
the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more
readable to humans.  We can easily make the LF optional by peeking
at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into
the buffer if its not LF.

401d53fa35 Teach fast-import to ignore lines starting with '#'
Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream.  This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.

This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace.  This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.

To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within
cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant
of the function.  This is necessary to retain any lines of the
input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import.

4739809cd0 Add support for an info version of the user manual
These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the
git user manual.  No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are
touched, so you need to explicitly say

make info
sudo make install-info

to get git.info created and installed.  If the info target directory
does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created.
This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations.  The same could be
achieved with

sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info

explicitly.

perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file.  It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I
find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual

over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for

But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing
user-friendliness.  So, rewrite to use the word "index" when
appropriate.
